Types of
Geocell

1

HDPE (High Density Polyethylene)

Properties: Low Stiffness, High creep.
Used for: Short-term, non-engineering application.
2

NPA (novel Polymer Alloy)

Properties: High Stiffness, low creep.
Used for: Engineering applications, Long-term load support.

What is confinement?

– Mechanism by which the lateral displacement of soil particles is restricted.

What does it mean and why is it important?

No Confinement

With Confinement

What are Geocells?

Honeycomb 3D geocells
